Procedure for Piston (Traction) Pump Flow Test
7. Start engine and run at idle speed. Check for any hy-
draulic leakage from tester and hose connections. Cor-
rect any leaks before proceeding.
This test measures piston (traction) pump output (flow).
During this test, pump load is created at the flow meter
using the adjustable load valve on the tester.
8. Move throttle so engine is running at high idle speed
(2870
RPM).

in this chapter).
10.Have
second person watch pressure gauge on test-
er carefully while slowly closing the flow control valve
until 1000 PSI (69 bar) is obtained. Verify with a photo-
tac that the engine speed is still 2870 RPM.
1.
Make sure hydraulic oil is at normal operating tem-
perature by operating the machine under load for
approximately ten (10) minutes. Make sure the hydrau-
lic tank is full.
NOTE: If engine speed drops below 2870 RPM, pump
flow will decrease.

Observe flow gauge. Flow indication should be
decks raised and off. Latch wing decks in raised posi-
tion. Make sure that the Hi/Low switch is in the Low
speed (4WD) position. Shut off engine.
12.Release
traction pedal to the neutral position, open
flow control valve on tester and shut off engine. Record
test results.
CAUTION
13.If
flow is less than 26 GPM (98 LPM), consider the
following:
Prevent personal injury and/or damage to equip-
ment. Read all WARNINGS, CAUTIONS and Pre-
cautions for Hydraulic Testing at the beginning
of this section.
A. The traction pump swash plate is not being ro-
tated fully (e.g. Hi/Low switch is not in Low speed

Make sure that traction pedal is adjusted to the neu-
tral position. Also, ensure that traction pump is at full
stroke when traction pedal is pushed into fully forward
position.
B. The hydrostat needs to be repaired or replaced
as necessary.

Thoroughly clean junction of hydraulic hose and left

Install tester with pressure gauge and flow meter in
series between traction pump fitting and disconnected
hose to allow flow from traction pump to tester. Use hy-

connections areproperlytightened.Also,makesurethe
